I think I got this bottle for around $20.00.
My Strength Rating: 7
This 2007 cab has been a favorite of mine and I am now down to my last two bottles so I better do a review while I can. I attempted to do a review a couple of times but I was enjoying the wine so much that I did not want to sit back and ‘think’ about it. Doing these reviews take a lot of energy and concentration and that can take away from the experience itself.
Appearance: dark ruby body with some lighter edges
Aroma: nice spice box nose with cinnamon leading the way. Good dark berries and I am picking up a Bing cherry and black currant like aroma.
Flavors: Oh this is sooo good. There is a berry explosion on the palate with red and black berries intermingling. The acidity seems low and the tannins are soft. Oh, I wish I had more left in the cellar. A nice earthy style of forest floor and a leathery texture just adds to the experience. At times I think I notice a sweet cedar note and a thread of caramel on the palate.
Mouthfeel: smooth and lush with lingering berries on the palate.
Oh, how I wish I could buy more of this wine.
